Link to a recent paper mentioned in an earlier blog. This is the full paper.

This paper represents recent work from researchers / doctors from the UK and USA about the inheritance of Kallmann syndrome and Hypogonadotrophic Hypogonadism.
In the past inheritance was thought due to be a defect in a single gene. This may now not be the case. It appears that the cause may be a combination of gene defects. To date there have been 7 different genes identified that lead to Kallmann syndrome or HH.
While this may not have an effect on the treatment of Kallmann syndrome at the moment but it might lead to a better chance of earlier diagnosis in the future.
A web blog about my life and a rare hormonal condition called Kallmann syndrome. It is a condition which results in a failure to enter puberty and a total lack of smell. It is a form of hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
Here is a link to more information about the genetics of Kallmann Syndrome that was prepared by our genetic counselor and which has links to some useful resource for those dealing with this condition: http://www.accessdna.com/condition/Kallmann_Syndrome/684. There is also a number listed for anyone who wants to speak to a genetic counselor by phone. I hope it helps. Thanks, AccessDNA
